Do you think a 30 cm2 tanned skin of a girl’s leg can weaken the fundamentals of family and marriage?

I don’t use a screensaver. However, some screensavers are just too good to be ignored. This Cable Clock screensaver looks great. Check it out. You can download it form the homepage.

Just watched Austria vs. England in the 2006 World Cup qualifiers. I only want to say one thing: David James sucks! Get rid of him, Eriksson!

Fareed Zakaria thinks that nobody should blame Saudis for the high oil prices. What do you think?

Well, I did not see that coming. The owner of the pharmacies chain said yesterday that he has nothing to do with the bribery and he will sue the MOH for libel! Close sources to the owner told the press that the employee who offered the bribe does not represent the owner and he knew nothing about it.

However, insiders from the MOH told Asharq Al-Awsat that the same owner has offered a bribe to another government body before, but no details were revealed then. I have this feeling that the owner will not be charged with anything. We’ve seen this before, and this time will probably be no exception.

Two men were killed and 30 other persons, including women and children, were injured yesterday. No, it’s not another bombing by Al-Qaeda, it is the grand opening of the new IKEA center in Jeddah.

IKEA was promoting the whole week in papers and the streets that the first 50 customers will get 500 SR shopping coupons while the next 200 customers wil get 100 SR shopping coupons. What IKEA did not expect that people will wait from the early hours of dawn to get some free stuff.

In Riyadh, where the other new branch of IKEA was opening at the same time, there was police officers, the National Guard and even the Religious Police to keep everything under control.

While I was in Riyadh and all that bombings were happening, I wasn’t scared as much as my parents who kept on calling me after every major event to make sure I’m all right and to tell me not to go out! But two days ago I was really scared when I heard about some chasing to the terrorists here in my hometown, Hassa.

The thing started when four terrorists refused to stop at a checkpoint, so the police started to chase their green Camry until they got to some crowded neighborhood in Mubarraz. The police surrounded them there and they killed two terrorists while the other two were wounded.
